About White & Case

White & Case handles cross-border transactions, arbitration, and litigation through a platform combining US, English, and local-law capabilities. Its work involves international businesses and investors whose matters require coordination among jurisdictions. The firm's published representations provide examples of financing and corporate activity in both established and developing markets.

Those examples include advising on a healthcare public-private partnership in Kazakhstan and financing an LNG-to-power project in the Dominican Republic. Such matters connect investment and financing structures with the construction and operation of major assets. The firm's corporate work also includes acquisitions involving businesses operating across national borders.

For students, White & Case's practice illustrates how international law firm work often turns on ordinary commercial objectives pursued in multiple legal systems. Financing a project or acquiring a business can require several sets of legal rules and local advisers. The firm's transaction and disputes capabilities address different stages of those international business relationships.
